Check out Laila’s track “I Hope It Kills You” (alternate version). Despite its bold title, this track surprises with its tongue-in-cheek beauty as a ballad, rather than the expected uptempo rocker.
Laila says, “Your lover leaves you for your best friend. Ouch. You take the high road but still pray that karma does her work. This song is meant to be played when you drive home from that breakup, or when you’re crying on the bathroom floor. Take your pick.”
Laila, an actress and singer-songwriter of Jordanian-Canadian descent, gained attention with her initial releases “Strangers at the Airport” and “I Like Girls” at Toronto’s Pride Festival. Her debut EP, “Heart Doesn’t Work Like That,” is now playing on CBC radio across Canada. Recently, she collaborated with artist BRDGS on the upbeat track “I Only Wanna Dance With You.” Additionally, Laila showcased her acting skills in the season finale of Netflix’s “Glamorous,” starring alongside Kim Catrall from “Sex and the City.”
Check out Brooke and the track “All I Ever Wanted.” Sharing a similar title to Billie Eilish’s “Everything I Wanted,” Brooke’s “All I Ever Wanted” is completely her own.

The 20-year-old Brooklyn-based alt-pop artist began releasing music in 2020 and took a three-year hiatus to explore her identity, style, and sound. Brooke is returning in 2024 with her debut EP, “Away.”
Brooke says, “I think I want creatives to feel empowered. This single is for artists that don’t fit the mold of industry expectations, but knowing that we never wanted what they did in the first place. We were never them. That’s a scary realization at first, going against the grain and charting your own path, but this single tackles that in a really playful way. It makes me realize a lot of the “career advice” I’ve been given isn’t relevant to my goals as an artist at all. So I’m like, why tf am I even listening to you right now? And so making this single was about toying with that.
